For years, Kosberg helped people navigate grief through storytelling and community building. Then Kosberg gets the call that her mom is dying while studying abroad in Australia, and their already complicated mother-daughter relationship suddenly becomes a lot more complicated. On a winding path full of humor, absurdity, and connection, Kosberg faces the impossible question: How to make amends with a dead mom? What she discovers is deeply personal, universal, and surprisingly hopeful. Just because someone is gone, it doesn't mean you can't heal your relationship with them.

Kosberg has spent more than 15 years building inclusive communities in the grief and end-of-life space, creating opportunities for conversations around loss, healing and connection. She is a founding team member of Reimagine and The Dinner Party and has produced and performed comedy and storytelling events centered on grief and resilience.

"I believe humor is one of the most powerful ways to explore difficult topics. The lightness and connective power of humor creates a gentle gateway into grief and pain. Complicated grief, especially the kind shaped by guilt, shame and unresolved relationships, is rarely talked about even in grief spaces," says Kosberg. "I want to change that. One of the most meaningful responses I hear after performances is people coming up to tell me they've never heard their experience spoken out loud before," continued Kosberg.

Directed by David Ford , with original direction by Iris Bahr (NYC debut) and David Crabb (LA debut), Homecoming has resonated with audiences nationwide.

Dara Kosberg is a storyteller, comedian, writer, and actor whose work has appeared at venues including Under St. Mark in New York and Lyric Hyperion in Los Angeles, as well as in Chicago and Atlanta. She's a Moth StorySlam winner and has performed at San Francisco's Punch Line Comedy Club and Brooklyn's Union Hall. As part of the Reimagine End of Life arts festival in SF and NYC, she's produced and performed in comedy shows about grief and loss that demonstrate the healing power of humor.

Director David Ford has collaborated on new and unusual theatre for more than three decades and has been an artist-in-residence at The Marsh in San Francisco. His award-winning solo productions have toured internationally.
